Complex cobordism ring of the quaternionic projective plane

ID: complex-cobordism-ring-of-the-quaternionic-projective-plane

For the quaternionic tautological line bundle regarded as a complex rank-two bundle, take . Its ordinary image generates degree-four integral cohomology, and its square generates degree eight. The Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence collapses because the cells have dimensions and the coefficients are even. The classes lift a free basis of the associated graded module, and because the theory is connective and the space has dimension eight.
